Hey readers,
Roasted potatoes are a classic side dish, but did you know you can make them even quicker with canned potatoes and an air fryer?
This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or when you're craving crispy, golden potatoes without the fuss of peeling, chopping, or boiling.
Using an air fryer ensures your potatoes get crispy on the outside while staying fluffy on the inside.
Ideal for those who want a simple and affordable option for a tasty side dish. Let’s get cooking!
Ingredients.
* 1 can of new or baby potatoes (around 400 g).
* 1 tbsp. Olive oil (or spray oil).
* 1 tsp garlic powder.
* 1 tsp. Smoked paprika (optional).
* 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme.
* Salt and pepper to taste.
Method.
1. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F). Preheating ensures even cooking and a nice crispy texture.
2. Pour the potatoes into a colander, drain them, and then pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Drying the potatoes is key for achieving a crisp finish.
3. In a mixing bowl, toss the drained and dried potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Ensure they are evenly coated.
4. Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they're in a single layer for the crispiest results.
Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
5. After 15 minutes, check to see if the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
If they need more time, continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes.
6. Once done, remove from the air fryer.
For extra crispiness try increasing the temperature to 220°C for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
If you're in the mood for a different flavour profile, swap out the rosemary for thyme or add a dash of chilli flakes for a spicy kick.
This recipe works well with other canned veggies like carrots or sweetcorn for a more varied side dish.
These air-fried roasted potatoes pair beautifully with roast chicken, grilled fish, or even a simple salad.
They also make a great snack on their own with your favourite dipping sauce.
This air-fryer roasted canned potatoes recipe is a game-changer when you're looking for something quick, easy, and delicious.
Perfect for those who want the crispy goodness of roasted potatoes without the long wait. Enjoy!
FAQs.
Can I use fresh potatoes instead of canned ones?
Yes! Simply boil the fresh potatoes for about 10 minutes until tender before air-frying to cut down on cooking time.
Do I need to add oil to the air fryer?
While the air fryer works well without oil, adding a small amount helps give the potatoes that crispy, golden finish.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Absolutely! This recipe is naturally vegan-friendly, but be sure to check any seasoning mixes or toppings for animal products if you're concerned.
